About Your Furry Friends in Clay
You send me a photo, and I sit down to translate that into a 3D clay form. I don't use molds, so I pay close attention to the specific traits that make your pet yours, like a signature head tilt, a spot on the nose, or their unique coat markings. These are small enough to sit on a desk or a shelf, serving as a quiet, tangible reminder of the joy they bring you.
Since I work entirely by hand, I focus on character, not just proportions. Whether your companion is a playful pup with a mischievous grin or a calm cat who loves to watch the birds, I look at your reference photos to find that one look you love most.
I use high-grade polymer clay because it is durable and holds fine details well, which is perfect for capturing fur textures or the gleam in an eye. Once cured, the sculptures are water-resistant and built to last, so they stay looking like new for years.
If you are planning this as a gift, please reach out with a few clear photos of your pet from different angles. It takes about 10 to 15 business days for me to sculpt, cure, and finish each piece properly. I want to make sure the final result feels like a little piece of their personality sitting right there with you. Whether you want a full-body miniature, a portrait head, or a functional magnet for your fridge, I am here to help you turn those memories into something you can actually hold.

I’m the one behind the mess, the clay scraps, and the endless cups of chai. When I sculpt your pet, I’m not just making an object, I’m trying to hold onto the love you share with them. Every whiskered face I shape is a little piece of my heart, too.
